Thought occurs to me:
In the Storyline revealing that we lost Telcontar, Ped mentions “Color”.
I think he means color as in, to call the color of a baseball game. As in, window dressing. I don’t think that he meant C o l o r
Damnit Ped. Stick to one vocabulary and stop making the game harder than it is.
I would imagine that he did put his request in to protect or purge someone, but the chances of him protecting the right person on night one would be pretty low. Actually, since he might wind up protecting scum/sinner he’d probably would have better off purging a random person, I’d think the worst that could happen is nothing (that is I assume that if he purged a sinner/blackheart it probably wouldn’t do anything).
What time is it In Game? When does this time period end?
It’s Day Two, Meeko. Unless Ped says otherwise, it should end Sunday at Noon again.
That’s what I was assuming. Just that there wasn’t time for someone to have become impure through lynching. Then again we don’t know long it takes for someone to have the seed of sin implanted in them yet, do we?
If the Sinners recruited him overnight?
Would the protected person even know who they were?
If he could prevent a night-kill on someone, I’m a bit surprised he didn’t protect himself.
Then again, I have no idea what his options were. Perhaps he took an action we have yet to realize.
Correct.
You’re right.
“Color” is a standard term in our games for the window dressing.
To be fair, you are playing two uses of the word there, AND we are playing with a Mafia variant we STILL do not understand fully.
Not the best for my first game I admit. But, seriously, I am enjoying this. If I could understand all the rules, it would be in the running with Haggle for my best forum game.
Quoth the Word of Mod:
This seems to imply that there exists some sort of evil influence other than killing, which can be blocked. I would argue that this is a reference to a Sinner power of actively planting the Seed of Sin, in a manner similar to how the Blackhearts actively kill.
Quoth Meeko:
We have had no indication that Sinners are capable of killing. If they recruit instead of killing, then presumably the result of their recruiting (both who they targeted, and whether that person accepted) is kept secret from the Town (it’d be pretty boring if pedescribe told us all “Bob has been recruited by the Sinners”).
Meanwhile, the Scum have managed to kill a very valuable Townie. Either they were lucky, they had some source of privileged information, or Telcontar gave some sort of power-role tell that they picked up on. I find this extremely interesting, given that there are two people who did give power-role tells this past Night, but didn’t get murdered: paulwhoisaghost, who made it clear that he was trying to send a PM to pedescribe, and Meeko, who says he has something important to talk about after Night actions resolve, and is worried that he, personally will be killed. If I were a Scum, and I wanted to (if possible) hit a Town power role, I think I’d go for one of those two. The fact that they didn’t seems to me to mean one of three things:
1: The Scum thought that Meeko and/or paulwhoisaghost were bluffing, to try to get them to target powerless Townies instead of power roles.
2: One or both of Meeko and paulwhoisaghost are scum.
3: The Scum had some other, more reliable, source of information guiding their night-kill choice.
Incidentally, Meeko, what was that subject of conversation that was so all-important for you to talk about come Dawn?
1b. Taking this just one step further, I think we have it exactly backwards. I think O helps Sinners, E helps Blackheart.
Would Telcontar Aegis/Purge someone he thought was evil, to begin with?
This is good for one vote, obviously, but I think we NEED to work what Telcontar said, and filter that, with the fact that he Knew he was an Aegis.
Again, This makes an assumption that he protected the wrong person, and paid for it, simply because he protected the wrong person, and was NOT voted in to be NKd.
Further, the information here is limited. we can mine all that Telcontar has said, and get CLOSE to making a right choice here.
If we know that Telcontar knew that he was an Aegis, then we should make a list of people he suspected, **and lthen ook at people NOT on that list.
**
NETA " And then look at people not on that list "
Right, and I’m wondering if the protected person(assuming he did this) would be aware that he/she was protected. This means that even I could have been protected last night and had no idea, right?
The last game I played in did not have a protector role, so I have no idea if a protected person is even aware they were protected.
UGH.
I am going to kill this netbook. Small keys, big hands.
I simply mean to state, I think a blackheart offed Telcontar. Not quite sure where “bot” came from in the upper part of my post.
Telcontar had no more information than we did.
He died presumably because he did not protect himself. It’s quite possible that his role prevented self-protection. Some protective roles are built that way.
No worries, Meeko…I saw that there was confusion in that post.
Just to be clear, I’m not a newbie to the game, but on Facebook the board mechanics work differently. Special Ed’s suggestions have helped me with the problems I was having though.
Going to reread again before I comment on anything else.
I can’t argue with you on how this appears. I just want to note that in an earlier post, someone referred to me as “he” and I corrected them, then saying parenthetically, “Am I the only she in this game?”
If Freudian Slit is a she, and she and I were co-Sinners or co-Blackhearts, don’t you think I would know that she was a she?
In general, people do not know they are preotected,though that’s open to modification by the mod
But you’re experienced enough to know that you can lay the groundwork for a calim like this easily.
Ignorance is really a null tell, since it could be real or it could be Scum faking it to appear more Town.
I’m not accusing you of this, I’m just saying it’s really a null tell
